I know this one, but I'm leaving for a short vacation, so I'll pass. George

No. LOL. No. I'm going to be away from my computer for a few days, and I suspect that this movie didn't get viewed by our coterie of players, so I'll say it was SPACED INVADERS and offer a FREE POST. George

I just watched that, too! "Do you like scary movies?"

Hail Mary time here.... "Heathers"????????

Traxx.

"Well, just look at that girl with the lights comin' up in her eyes"

John Candy Stripes Sean Young George

IMPORTANT NEWS: If anyone is offered a Spanish translation of Chapter One (or other parts) of my memoir, Undertow, or any other of my published work, including blogs, please know I have NOT authorized that translation. My book, like all books published in the U.S., is protected by U.S. copyright law. For more details, read the copyright page of Undertow. To put this another way: I have not given permission, and have no plans to give it, to anyone to translate any parts of my work into any language. I say that not only as the author, but the publisher who owns New Wings Press, LLC, which published both of my books. People who hire translators, by the way, are not the authors of a work, they are the publishers. Now, if as a publisher, I had a bottomless piggy bank and a professional translator I trusted (and another translator to check that translator's work), I might consider publishing Undertow in Spanish, but as of today, I'm 99% certain no such criteria is in my future. Nor do I want it, thanks anyway. In case you're not familiar with the book business, publishing a book, not to mention writing it, is a whole lot of work, stress, sleepless nights, a juggling act of managing editors, blurbers, book designers, book marketers (yourself and your friends), book printers and book distributors. And 99% of the time, money is "lost" on the project. So you have to really, really, really believe the book(s) are worth all that to publish them. So, I'll just say that sharing Undertow with those who want it, like you guys here at GSC, was and will always be one of the most rewarding endeavors of my life. Cheers, Charlene L. Edge

I would have gone with "Pink Cadillac." How about Every Which Way But Loose Beverly D'Angelo National Lampoon's Vacation

Come on! No links to Clint Eastwood???? George

This is the only movie I know which refers to War of the Worlds and Clutch Cargo. One of the actors portrayed his character as a version of Jack Nicholson, because why not? George

For the record, I was going with Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder (which I hear daily, living in the tropical climate of South Florida).

"Brown Eyed Girl" -- Van Morrison "Just say a word and the boys will be right there With claws at your back to send a chill through the night air Is it so frightening to have me at your shoulder? Thunder and lightning couldn't be bolder." George

Hey! Where did we go, days when the rains came?

The big actor was GENE HACKMAN. Mel Brooks added the blind hermit's scene for him. Gene Wilder had approached Mel Brooks with his idea, and they collaborated. Their agent was the agent for PETER BOYLE. Mel Brooks jumped studios over the low budget. The studio that let him complete it got a runaway hit on their hands. They wanted the FEEL of the gloomy lighting, but not gloomy lighting for scenes. So, when they showed the background, there was gloom. Center stage was well-lit. The scene with the long argument- Gene Wilder insisted on the musical number- "Putting on the Ritz"! Mel Brooks later admitted he wasn't sure, so he checked how passionate Wilder was for the scene to be included. The rest is history...and the ladies and gentlemen in the audience threw lettuce and stuff before the scene ended. Go, George!

That's it!

Gloria...Them

Young Frankenstein? George

I'm thinking, "What's up, Doc?" might have been the easy quote, or even "Ain't I a stinker?" Anyway, "Tossed salads and scrambled eggs." George

"She comes around here Just about midnight She make me feel so good I want to say she make me feel all right." George

Ah, I would hazard a guess but I have to go out and cover some stuff I left outside. Those daily afternoon storms, let me tell you. Just like clockwork here in Florida. Looking forward to the answer to this one, WW.

That's it. Those were all easy for me, I'm surprised they were that tricky for you. Yosemite Sam playing cards and with ink spilled on his head. Bugs at the beginning of the Peter Lorre as mad scientist cartoon, Wile E. Coyote-super genius and Bugs, And Yosemite Sam clearing out a saloon. You might find this interesting. The line "And I don't mean Mahatma Gandhi!" was changed in recent decades to "And I ain't no namby pamby!" Your turn.

Why, yes. That would be correct.

"With a Little Help from My Friends" -- The Beatles George

Unless, of course, you consider the aftermath. Apparently, it was the remnants of Barry merging with a stationary front in Texas that caused the once-in-a century flooding in Kerr County. George
